Dr. Yin and Dr Lyu are the only Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner in Victoria whom I truly trust. His medical skills are exceptional, and his diagnostic accuracy is consistently impressive. Over the years, he has helped me—and many others—treat a wide range of health issues with remarkable effectiveness. He listens carefully, explains treatment plans clearly, and approaches every patient with genuine care and professionalism. Whether it’s acupuncture, herbal medicine, or general wellness guidance, his expertise always makes me feel confident and well taken care of. I’m very grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and trustworthy TCM doctor here in Victoria. Highly recommended!

I moved from Alberta to Victoria to learn from Dr. Yin and I can tell you that it was the best decision that I've ever made. The instructors know when to be hands on with their students and know when to allow space for growth. The studies are intense yet supported and it is a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in studying TCM.

I’m happy to be a student here and can have brainstorming with teachers and school mates every class. Teachers are very well educated with passion in Chinese medicine, experienced and they’re very responsive and helpful.

Studying at Oshio College felt like growing within a warm and supportive family. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring, and the administrative team is always organized, helpful, and kind. They made my entire learning journey smooth and encouraging. Even after graduation, I still return to visit and stay connected. Oshio College isn’t just my school—it feels like home. Highly recommended for anyone pursuing TCM and acupuncture.

One a half years ago, I helped my relatives from China got admitted by Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology for the acupuncture and massage program in Victoria, BC. So far what I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions of I have made. From the moment I started communicating online with international candidate consular student visa advisor, Mrs. Zhengyan Sun, I knew I was in the right place and the right person. The program is incredibly comprehensive, blending ancient wisdom with modern clinical practices—everything from pulse diagnosis to herbal formulations is taught with such depth and passion. A huge shoutout to Ms. Sun, the student visa advisor and principle, who truly made the experience unforgettable. Her expertise is unmatched; she's not just a teacher but a mentor, always tying to help no matter what the difficulties they encountered. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her one-on-one guidance helped my relatives build the confidence to their new life in Canada. I have to say thanks to her loudly. The college's small class sizes, herbology lab, and supportive community made learning feel personal and empowering. If you're passionate about holistic healing, Oshio is the college to enroll! Highly recommend.

I have always known Oshio College to be a professional and supportive institution. The staff work hard to maintain a positive learning environment and handle student matters responsibly. Recently, I saw some negative comments that seem connected to an ongoing tuition-related dispute involving Ruy. Based on what I know, she failed to pay the tuition, was sued, and later tried to smear the school.

Studying at Oshio college has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. The curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, covering both classical theory and modern clinical applications. The teachers are not only experts in their fields but also passionate mentors who genuinely care about each student’s growth. The hands-on clinical training has strengthened my confidence and prepared me for real practice. This school truly upholds the spirit of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

As patients, my family and I are astonished by Dr. Yin’s TCM diagnosis, treatment, and skills. He is amazing. Our whole family is now taken care by him. Now regularly every two months, we pay a visit to his clinic. As a student, I was first impressed by the“magic” results brought by TCM and then decided to learn TCM myself. Now all my learning experience at Oshio College is very positive. The school is not modern but definitely sufficient for hands-on learning. Those experienced teachers are invaluable, like mentors. I was surprised to see two negative comments below as I have no reason to pick any flaw of the school. Nothing is perfect but the core of TCM is the techniques delivered and conveyed by those professionals. I would never be regrettable to choose to study at Oshio College.

Mediocre experience

Maureen Hill · Google · 21 Nov 2022

I’ve had an incredibly rich experience as a student at Oshio College of Acupuncture and Herbology and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in studying the heart of Chinese Medicine. Our classroom learning from the teachers is top notch, and it’s clear that they deeply care about our success. In clinic, learning to work with energy medicine is a challenging, demanding and delicate process. There couldn’t be a gentler or wiser guide than Dr. Yin. He works tirelessly with great dedication and integrity, holding space for us to grow into the unique and skilled practitioners we have the potential to be. He gives us room to test our new wings as budding practitioners but is there by our side for any question or concern. I can’t recommend Oshio College enough – we are so fortunate to have this opportunity.
